Work, personal life, and everything between deserve their own Space. Crest is a native browser for iPhone and iPad that keeps your accounts separate, your tabs organized, and your browsing distinctly yours. KEEP YOUR ACCOUNTS SEPARATE Each Space has its own tabs, cookies, website data, history, passwords, and site permissions. Stay signed in to different accounts on the same website. Switch from work to personal browsing without carrying the wrong session with you. GIVE EVERY TAB A PLACE Pin the sites you use every day. Save pages in folders. Keep today's tabs close and completed work in the archive. Select and move tabs, folders, and Split View groups together. On iPhone, bring in the sidebar with a gesture; on iPad, keep it beside your page. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Start with a Winter, Lion, or other crest template in Crest Studio, then change the colors, artwork, and background. Choose a crest, emoji, monogram, or symbol. Look and Feel lets you adjust the sidebar's edge, tab appearance, borders, icon colors, and default page zoom, with a live preview. KEEP RELATED PAGES TOGETHER Group two to four pages in Split View. On iPad, browse them side by side and resize the columns. On iPhone, swipe across the compact toolbar to move between pages in the group. Peek lets you check supported links without losing your place, then keep the page as a tab when you need it. TOOLS FOR EVERYDAY BROWSING Translate webpages on device with Apple's Translation framework. Read supported articles in Reader, find text on a page, adjust zoom, share links, and export pages. Content blocking and site permissions give you control over each Space. Language availability varies, and translation may require a language download. PRIVATE WHEN YOU NEED IT Private Browsing uses temporary website storage. Private tabs stay out of saved history, restoration, archive, and sync. Crest does not run an advertising SDK, collect browsing analytics, or require a Crest account. PICK UP ON ANOTHER DEVICE Optional iCloud sync keeps supported Space and tab organization available across your Apple devices through your private iCloud database. Crest is also available for Mac. Crest is free and open source, built with Apple's WebKit. Requires iOS 26.1 or iPadOS 26.1 or later. Some website features and integrations vary by device.

Vee Browser is a fast, private web browser built for people who want real control over their browsing. TAB ISOLATION Open a Private tab and it runs in its own separate storage - its own cookies, logins, and site data - so you can sign in to the same site with two different accounts at once, or browse without leaving a trace in your standard tabs. LOCATION CONTROL Choose the location websites see, from a map. Search or tap to place a pin, save your favorite locations, and decide when sites get your real location and when they don't. AI FACETS Add small, powerful enhancements to any website from the Facets marketplace - they install and update automatically, and run only on the sites they're built for. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT No tracking, no analytics SDKs, and your browsing history stays on your device. Send Do Not Track, and clear your browsing data anytime. A CLEAN, FAMILIAR EXPERIENCE A Safari-style interface with inline address editing, bookmarks, per-tab history, downloads, find-in-page, desktop-site mode, and true dark mode. Sign in to your favorite sites - including Google - bookmark what matters, and browse the way you want.
